Sporting and School Events
The Corn Palace hosts many basketball and volleyball games for both the Mitchell school district and Dakota Wesleyan University. The lights on the spindles on top of the building change colors depending on who is playing. It also hosts the graduations for Mitchell High School, Dakota Wesleyan University, and Mitchell Technical Institute. The Corn Palace also offers a free flu shot clinic that is put on by Dakota Wesleyan and MTI nursing students.

Annually, the Corn Palace hosts the Shrine Circus. The circus takes place in the spring of each year. The Shrine Circus offers an exciting experience for the whole family. The show includes elephants, ponies, acrobats, clowns, tigers and lions, a tight rope walker, dirt bikes, and many other exciting attractions. The Shrine Circus is for children of all ages. Children are allowed to purchase prizes upstairs in the Corn Palace. Concessions are also sold during the show of the circus. Concerts
The Corn Palace hosts a variety of concerts throughout the year. Entertainers such as Gloriana, Willie Nelson, The Oak Ridge Boys, and Hairball have all entertained concert-goers at the Corn Palace. Bull Bashes
Although the Corn Palace Stampede Rodeo is held at the Mitchell Rodeo grounds, there are still multiple bull bashes that are held at the corn palace. These consist of just bull riders doing their sport, not a whole rodeo. These events always draw in large crowds to the Corn Palace.
